1985 Highlights
Durin the most recent complete fiscal ear, FY 1984, OTE
had enrollments for a total of ~~ student days in
courses. These numbers do not include tutorials, foreign
language training or other ad hoc training requests. This
represents more than double the training that was offered as
little as five years ago.
during FY 1984. Full-time sponsorship during FY 1984
~~
In 1984, the Management and Administrative Training
Division launched a comprehensive training program for
secretaries, administrative and technical employees. The
program became an instant success with FY 1985 instances of
training expected to exceed ~ enrollments. The program
consists of a series of courses designed to handle the training
needs over the careers of this large group of Agency employees,
from the Agency Orientation and Office Procedures Course to
Supervisory Skills for Secretaries.
was completed and
the first classes held in it during February 1985.
As part of OTE's continuing effort to develop training
programs tailored to meet specific needs of Agency personnel, a
new DS&T training program was established. The training
program, developed utilizing the results of a DS&T-wide needs
assessment, includes such specialized courses as Acquisition
Management for CIA Technical Personnel, Briefing Technical
Material, FLINT Orientation, Writing in the DS&T.

The Request for Internal Training Form is being
automated to permit paperless registration throughout the
Agency. It is currently being used on a limited, trial basis.
Upon full implementation, it is expected that there will be a
considerable time savings in the preparation of course rosters,
confirmation of enrollments, and the electronic updating of the
Agency Training System with course completions.
The revised Language Incentive Program became effective on
26 May 1985. Each Directorate will apply the new program
according to its own operating needs. Highlights of the new
program include an estimated doublin of annual LIP award
amounts, which totaled under the old
program, and regular overseas testing to assure continued
eligibility for awards for employees in overseas posts.
OTE is embarking on a major initiative to establish a
Soviet Studies Training Program in response to a DCI request.
Although still in the initial stages, it looks like it will
consist of one required course followed by a series of modules
on the Soviet economy, Soviet military strategy and doctrine,
politics and culture. The program would be directed to the
needs of junior and mid-level officers working exclusively or
primarily on Soviet issues.
As part of the continuing effort to make the Career Trainee
Program relevant for all of the Directorates in the Agency,
separate programs were established for CTs bound for the DS&T
and DA. The programs take the form of additional specialized
training after completion of the Career Trainee Development
Course and the Special Operations Training Course which are
taken by CTs from all Directorates.
